Hi
Ive been told by soo many people that fruit can be eaten by dogs without harming them,is that true???
Ive got a passionfruit tree outside the back and my dogs keep taking them,even ones still attached to the tree.Whenever i take the fruit away from them especially the oldest,Bella (9 yrs old)they get really angry and run under the house with them.I think that dogs cant eat fruit but i dont really know for sure.
Some lady on a forum said she fed her pregnant dog fresh fruit and veg and said her dog loved it and had a healthy litter of pups but then i saw another thread that said its bad and can cause them to vomit and become very sick.
Hope you's can help

Here's a list of some bad foods for dogs, several of which are fruits:

Apple - The seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides which can result in cyanide poisoning.

Apricot - The seeds contain cyanogenic glycosides which can result in cyanide poisoning.

Avocado - Avocado contains a toxic element called persin which can damage heart, lung and other tissue in many animals. Avocadoes are high in fat content and can trigger an upset stomach, vomiting or even pancreatitis... Since avocado is the main ingredient in guacamole be sure and keep your dog out of the dip.

Tomatoes and Tomato Plants (tomatoes are actually fruits) - These contain atropine which can cause dialated pupils, tremors and irregular heartbeat. The highest concentration of atropine is found in the leaves and stems of tomato plants, next is the unripe (green) tomatoes and then the ripe tomato.

Because it's the seeds that tend to be the problem where fruit is concerned, and because passion fruit have plenty of seeds, it's probably advisable not to let a dog eat this fruit. Nevertheless, I had a dog who also had a penchant for passion fruit and he was as healthy as healthy can be, irrespective of his passion for the fruit. Rules are not always set in stone...
